Thank You!

We are extremely grateful to the many individuals, friends and colleagues who have offered help and encouragement as we put the show garden together.  In particular, we are grateful to Jim Jermyn and all the team at Gardening Scotland as well as Lizzie Gardiner (PR Marketing Copywriting) for her great advice and common sense on the PR side of things.
